Childhood Playing Cards by TCC & Lunzi

A playing card army inspired by Alice in Wonderland



The debut project of the "Smooth Writing" series was called Room52 Playing Cards.  Produced by TCC Playing Cards, it is the work of Lunzi, who is a card flourisher and the lead illustrator of the luxury brand ARK Playing Cards.  Now Lunzi has just released his second project, called Childhood Playing Cards.





It's inspired by Lewis Carroll's classic work Alice in Wonderland, with Lunzi opting to make the playing card soldiers from the story a central aspect of the design.  All the illustrations have been drawn by hand.







Besides the main deck, dubbed the Childhood Standard Edition, there is also a Childhood Special Edition, which is limited to just 700 decks. 



The Special Edition's tuck box draws on the Cheshire Cat, and is made with what TCC describes as "Mirage Grating material".  The basic idea is that depending on the angle you look at the deck, you'll either see the Cheshire Cat or just its grin.   You can see what this visual effect looks like in this video.





The Cheshire Cat's grin also features on the card backs of the Special Edition. 





Purchases of a half brick (6 decks) include with an upgraded Special Edition, which is limited to just 300 decks, and has gilded edges.





These two decks are a delightful way to pay tribute to a true classic of children's literature!
